Interpolated end point volume.

Repeatability Powerful built-in algorithms for equivalence point detection (first derivative and second

derivative detection algorithms, filtered derivatives option, settable range for equivalence

point detection).

Fixed end point mV or pH.

Quick results Standard titration methods.

Pre-titration dosing feature.

Dynamic / Linear dosing feature.

Complete report The results are displayed directly in the selected units.

Titration graph can be displayed on line and saved.

SETUP

2.2 Safety Measures

The following safety measures must be followed:

1. Always ensure that the power-supply cable is connected to a grounded main power plug.

2. Never connect or disconnect the pump assembly with the titrator turned on.

3. Verify that the burette and the attached tubing are as described in this manual (see 9.1

Burette Maintenance section for more details).

4. Always check that the titrant bottle and the titration beaker are firmly sitting on a flat

surface.

5. Always wipe up spills and splashes immediately.

6. Avoid the following environmental working conditions:

 Severe vibrations

 Direct sunlight

 Atmospheric relative humidity above 95% non-condensing

 Environment temperatures below 10°C and above 40°C and a normal humidity range

 Explosion hazards

7. Have the titrator serviced only by qualified service personnel.

Note: Assembly operations must be completed before connecting the titrator to the power-supply

voltage!

2.3.4.1 Assembling Stirrer Stand and Support

Follow these steps to assemble the stirrer:

 Remove the screws (2) from the titrator chassis (1).

 Attach the stirrer stand (3)

to the titrator chassis. Make sure

to position the stirrer

stand close to the wall of the chassis.

 Tighten the stirrer stand (3) using the previously removed screws (2).

 Screw the stirrer support (4) in the stirrer stand (3).

SETUP

2.3.4.2 Attaching Stirrer

To attach the stirrer to titrator, follow these steps:

 Attach the propeller (2) to the stirrer (1) by pressing it onto the stirrer shaft.

 Insert the pH electrode (3) and temperature sensor (4) into the dedicated holes on

the stirrer. Push them in until they are tightened in a stable position.



Slide the stirrer on the stirrer support and set the height by

tightening the

screw

located on the positioning collar (5).

SETUP

2.3.4.3 Connecting the Pump

To connect the pump, follow these steps:

 Retrieve the pump cable from inside the bay. The pump 1 connector is located in

the

left side bay.



Connect the cable to the pump as shown in the figure below. The pump connector is

located in the lower part of the pump, near the motor.

 Insert the pump (2) into the dedicated bay. Lower the pump until it reaches the

lowest position, then slide it towards the front of the titrator chassis (1) until it is

firmly latched.

 Secure the pump with the loking screw (3).

SETUP

HI 902 only:

Follow the previous steps (2.3.4.3) to connect and attach the second pump.

2.3.4.4 Attaching Burette Blank Support (HI 901 only)

The burette blank support installation procedure is as follows:

 Insert burette blank support (4) in the dedicated bay - on the right side (see the

previous picture). Lower the burette blank support until it reaches the lowest position,

then push it toward the front of the titrator chassis (1) until it is firmly latched.

 Secure the burette blank support with the locking screw (5).

2.3.4.5 Attaching Burette

Make sure that the mark from the valve actuating cap and from the burette body are aligned

as shown in the figure below.

Take care to have a correct coupling between the pump plunger (2) and the syringe piston

(1) and also when sliding the burette onto its support, consider the alignment between the

valve actuating cap and the valve positioning wheel, as shown in the figure below.

SETUP

2.3.5 Connection to Earth

It is important that the titrator has a good connection to Earth. The titrator is properly

grounded through the power cord and for added confidence the unit can be connected to

Earth using the optional 5 mm screw and the nut connection located on the rear panel of

titrator.

2.3.6 Floppy Disk Drive

Report files, new created (user) methods, standard methods can be transferred to and

from the titrator using a standard 3.5 floppy disk.

Connect to Earth (optional)
